"In May of last year I bought a house. About a month later, in the middle of the night, I heard a pop. I thought it was the trees or some other noise from outside. It was not until the next day that I realized the ”pop” I had heard was the fridge’s last gasp. Three weeks later, after a comedy of errors, a brand new refrigerator was installed. Around that same time I noticed that the light in the kitchen no longer worked. I thought maybe when the fridge blew, it blew out the lights, too. I knew enough not to mess around with electricity, so eventually I went to the Time Bank to see if someone was handy with electrical stuff. Indeed, there was. I got in touch with Bob who had the tools and the know-how, and 45 minutes later I had light in the kitchen! It turns out there was a switch tucked way back along the wall next to the refrigerator which must have gotten turned off when the new one was installed. I was thankful that I had the Time Bank to turn to when I was in the dark. Thanks Bob!" - Susan Jenkins @ the Cazenovia TimeBank/CRIS, New York . #timebankingis #community #50storiesin50days #timebanks #story #timeasmoney #electricity http://ow.ly/YznZ309slZ0
